The course is great for beginners, especially with a focus on the fundamentals of data science and RStudio. It provides a great introduction to Git and Github, which makes it extremely informative.

It's a beginning to a host of different courses that are to be followed after this. It makes up a for a good platform to start off the work on R and how to use version control feature of R via GitHub.

Not worth the price. Extremely basic stuff spread very thin over too much time just to be able to charge for it.

Useless. The information content is close to zero. Just some blah-blah and a long tutorial to install software.

Way too basic for the price - almost no content - this is just setup - I resent paying for setup instructions.

Would wish this course was not a requirement for specialization. Easy, and not giving anything.

The courses are not by a real instructor/professor but are scripts read out loud by a machine.

The course does not warrant the price, it has way too little information. Very dissatisfied.

This course could be summed up in one page or so. Very little content.

GitHub lessons good.

The robot voice is terrible. This needs to be fixed. I wish it was an actual person.

I finished this course in one day. It is ridiculous as it is poorly structured.
